JeffroK -> RE: Banana gets his arse kicked! (1/5/2007 3:40:22 AM)
At this point Luskan should be on the offensive, but that doesnt mean he has the initiative. As Buzzz says, he cant ignore the Gilberts Offensive, so he has to react. What's next, Raver hits another weak point and Luskan runs his CV's over there?? And the Japanese are brittle, lose a few CV's and you're up the creek, whereas the USN will keep rebuilding. The Zeke Bonus dissapears soon, just as the P-38 arrives, and the Corsair not far behind.

Hey JeffK, are you another Aussie?? Looks like this AAR is attracting all the boys from downunder (even if we're not all downunder anymore!). C'mon Aussie!!! We gave that pathetic pommy excuse for a cricket team a whopping. And come on Luskan. You still have a very big hammer - where will you use it?

Raverdave -> RE: Banana gets his arse kicked! (1/5/2007 8:52:37 AM)
Strewth and stone the bloody crows ! It's like a bloody mothers club meeting here. I have no doubt upset Luskan's plans, but he still has the ability to hurt me in some places. Lucky for me he is too bloody dumb to figure out just where those places are.

JeffroK -> RE: Banana gets his arse kicked! (1/5/2007 10:51:26 AM)
Strewth!!! Too many bloody Aussies here, busier than Bourke Street. Buzzzzz, Of course I live in the land of Milk and Honey, had to bring me own Cow & Bees though!!

sigh ratbrain is back at work so things have slowed down a tad. I think that the boy wonder is pleased with that as his mental health was starting to show the strain from the beatings he is taking in the Marshalls'. [:D]

Luskan -> RE: Banana gets his arse kicked! (1/6/2007 5:19:08 AM)
pfffffffffft. Raver looses 40 aircraft every time he flies over Kwajalein and takes down 5-7 of mine and calls it a win.

Raverdave -> RE: Banana gets his arse kicked! (1/6/2007 9:02:31 AM)
I can afford the 40 aircraft.....you can't afford the 7 aircraft. Some light naval action at Koepang. Luskan sends in a TF with NO cover and gets slapped for his trouble. [:D] Even more than aircraft losses it is ship losses that the IJN player cannot afford this early in the game.........even better if they are jap transports.

Oh yeah ! Actually I'm not really sure where KB is at the moment. Was last spotted (reported) in the Marshalls, but that was well over 10 turns ago. [:(] That Luskan is upto something for sure. Maybe a raid on the US West coast? Or the West coast of India? Or he could be thinking about hitting Australia. I'm going to have to scan the intel reports a lot closer.

qgaliana -> RE: Banana gets his arse kicked! (1/9/2007 4:54:55 PM)
This pretty interesting. But I'm not sure how well the allies can sustain major losses through 1942. It seems to me the Japanese can still wrap up the SRA and then dispose of the Gilberts more or less at their leisure. I don't have the mileage in this game yet, but I get the impression an early allied counteroffensive - if it fails bloodily - can set them back 6 months to a year waiting for the replacements and more shipping. Transports especially don't seem to be that plentiful.

pauk -> RE: Banana gets his arse kicked! (1/9/2007 8:32:23 PM)
what can be even worse Japanese can continue their advance through Pacific since quite a lot of US troops are engaged (read: traped) at Marshalls and Gilberts...

Time is almost always on the side of the Allies, especially when it comes to air combat. (And I wouldn't be surprised if minelaying was going on, too. ) The fact that Raver now has three bases within airstrike range of each other makes it a thorny problem for Luskan, which will only get worse when longer-range aircraft such as Lightnings come online.

Raverdave -> RE: Central Pacific (1/10/2007 2:14:37 AM)
If I were a betting man I would say that Luskan is planning his next major assualt, and it will land right on the Marshall Islands. He HAS to attack here as he cannot afford to let me continue increasing my strength here. I'm thinking that as soon as he has rested his troops at Singers then they will be loaded and shipped to Truk, which is the logical staging base in the area. Wotje would be the first target that he should hit, followed by Tawara and then Meloelap. But the really SMART think to do would be to hit Baker Island. It is here that my allied forces are supporting the other three Islands from. IF Baker falls then the other three Islands would wither on the vine. Also by attacking in the Marshalls, Luskan would force me to defend with my CV's which any jap player worth his salt would be looking to hunt and destroy sooner rather than later. Having already thought through the above what can I as the allied player do? Well for starters as soon as wonder boy starts his attack I will know WHERE kb is...I will allow the defenders of the Marshalls to fight with little support, as they are VERY well stocked and will defeat anything that the boy wonder can throw at them (LOTS of CDs units as well as mines are now in place as well as reserve aircraft that are currently resting at Baker Is)..then I will launch a new invasion in one of three places somewhere on the map that ratbrain will have to counter. He will then have a choice of continuing to follow thru with his attack, or turn and face the new threat that I have created with my new invasion. I don't believe that Luskan has the strategic ability to fight on two "new" fronts.

JeffroK -> RE: Central Pacific (1/10/2007 3:11:24 PM)
I'd leave the Gilberts and take Johnston Is, makes it a long swim back to Pearl...

Leisure is relative to be sure. But he could have a good six months to pick the place apart (as Raver points out isolating first vs assault). And it gives him more favourable ground for the 'decisive battle' than some isolated US attol in the south or central pacific. That decisive battle isn't going to give him the war but my impression so far was that US reinforcements won't replace any major losses (say a hundred or more transports and a few divisions) before late 43 or even 44. Even against the AI I've emptied the west coast of shipping just stocking supply and very slowly moving troops through 1942. Luskan has an opportunity to give himself 6-12 very quiet months of no attrition and lots of digging in through the middle of the war. On the other hand it's war - Raver might be able to bleed him and distract him to the point an opening will come up elsewhere. Raver has picked the ground for sure. But I'm not sure if it will speed allied victory. very interesting AAR thanks gents.

So either Hobart or Christmas Island is in trouble... (The one in the Indian Ocean!!)

Luskan -> RE: Central Pacific (1/13/2007 3:06:42 PM)
Well, things are certainly quiet. When you've got thousands (ok, hundreds) of betties and nells, isolating the Gilberts and Marshalls isn't that big an ask. But you don't want to use them for bombing - you want your sallies and helens to do that for you. At present, my sallies are tied up with a carpet bombing campaign in the Phillipines. until Manila and Clark and bataan fall . . . well we're still in chapter 1. Don't make it to chapter 2 until I control the SRA and the dozen divisions I've got tied up become free again. Colossal fatigue and disruption in my present army, but few fatalities so far. There is a possibility of the China offensive (with divisions from the SRA) . . . would secure my mainland side a lot more. Certainly Raver has lost more Chinese troops (wiped out - as in surrendered) in this game than any other. I'll crush another 6 or so cut off units deep behind my lines in the next week or two and remove them from the OOB too. Economically things are really stong - I've slowed my economy a little to make more room for resource and oil buildup :Jap players, on turn 3, your TKs should be at Brunei, Tarakan, Balikpapan and Ambiona, and your AKs at Kendari, Tarakan and Toobali loading oil and resources for the motherland. I didn't loose a single one to allied activity, and meant that by week two I'd replaced all those resource and oil points that I'd "spent" expanding factories, repair yards and realloacting airframe and engine production. Singapore harbour is already a major repair port (makes Hong Kong look backward) and still growing (lots of supply - every time I land supply at Hong Kong my Chinese bases suck it all up).

Yakface -> RE: Central Pacific (1/14/2007 3:11:18 AM)
"I'll crush another 6 or so cut off units deep behind my lines in the next week or two and remove them from the OOB too." I was under the impression that the only way to eliminate chinese units permanently was to casuse them to starve to death. I'd be interested to know if this is incorrect?

castor troy -> RE: Central Pacific (1/14/2007 4:03:23 PM)
surrendered or destroyed Chinese units should again arrive at Chungking at 1/3 strength.
